Images of Greece

Oia

Why we’re proud to be Greek!

Because we never visit others empty handed

Because we always make it, even if it’s the last moment

Because we are not ashamed to show emotion with utmost passion

Santorini

Because nights in Greece finish in the morning

Because we work to live and we do not live to work

Meteora

Because Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle were Greek

Because we gave birth to Democracy, invented theater, discovered logic, higher mathematics, science and modern medicine.

Because for the sake of a woman & honor, we made war for 10 years

Ladies of Athens

Because whenever other cultures can’t find a word, they use one of ours

Because our Olympic light unites the world & passes a message of peace

Because 40% of the Oxford dictionary is defined by Greek words

Hydra

Because we know the meaning of “Kefi” (propensity for fun)

Because we speak loudly and laugh even louder

Mykonos

Because in Greece, nobody is homeless – we take care of our own

Because we have a small country full of people with big hearts

Oia2

Because “Greeks do not fight as heroes, heroes fight like Greeks”
